Mild pyelectasis diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound is not a predictor of urinary tract morbidity in childhood

Objectives To determine whether children with prenatally diagnosed mild pyelectasis have more urinary tract morbidity during childhood than children without this finding. Methods Case‐control study in children with pyelectasis (anteroposterior diameter of the fetal renal pelvis of 5–10 mm). A valida...

Description
Summary:Objectives To determine whether children with prenatally diagnosed mild pyelectasis have more urinary tract morbidity during childhood than children without this finding. Methods Case‐control study in children with pyelectasis (anteroposterior diameter of the fetal renal pelvis of 5–10 mm). A validated questionnaire was sent to the parents of 208 cases and 416 matched controls. Results The questionnaire was returned by 146 cases and 250 controls. There was a male predominance in the case group (p =
